Epic fail

This is the most detail that I can find about it:

As the stress mounted, Russell’s mental state began to deteriorate. Finally, last week, he was filmed naked on a street corner in San Diego, talking to himself and making sexual gestures. He was not arrested but retained and placed in a psychiatric facility with a diagnosis of "brief reactive psychosis."

An official statement by his organization Invisible Children said this was caused by "extreme exhaustion, stress and dehydration." They continue, "...the doctors say this is a common experience given the great mental, emotional and physical shock his body has gone through in these last two weeks." His wife, as well as Invisible Children, stress it had nothing to do with drugs or alcohol.
I’m not here to judge whether Jason Russell deserved some of the criticism he received. Rather, I want to discuss "brief reactive psychosis" as a psychiatric diagnosis. In those pre-disposed, intense stress over a short period of time, coupled with poor diet, little sleep and exhaustion can be the trigger. The symptoms can include hallucinations, delusions and disordered thinking. Most patients who experience just a single episode recover fully and don’t go on to develop a more severe, long term psychiatric condition.

Given the right set of circumstances this can happen to almost anyone and it’s important to not let this influence your view of Jason Russell or what he accomplished.

He’s not crazy or psycho or a weirdo.

He has a temporary condition that by definition will be resolved with time. Don’t let this sway your perception of what he accomplished by exposing the evil of Joseph Kony to the world.

I won't link to the article as it is from, in my opinion, a particularly odious news provder.
